The following is a daily text product issued by the OHRFC: Ohio River Basin Hydrometeorological DiscussionOhio River Forecast Center, Wilmington, Ohio 123 PM EDT Friday, May 17, 2013 ...HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL DISCUSSION... Low pressure will approach the Ohio Valley from the southwest today. Moisture ahead of the low will continue to lift north into the southern and western portions of the basin today fueling scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms. This pattern will continue for the next couple of days, though activity will move from southwest to southeast as the low moves eastward across the southern Ohio Valley. By Monday the low will move off to the east and high pressure will build into the basin. This will not keep the entire basin dry, but rains will be limited and confined mainly to the edges of the basin. Chances of rain will increase Tuesday as a front approaches from the west. The front is expected to move through the basin around Wednesday of next week. Drier, more stable conditions are expected behind the cold front. ...FLOOD POTENTIAL DISCUSSION... No flooding is occurring at this time. While there are significant chances for rain across the middle of the Ohio Valley through mid-next week, it is expected to be scattered enough that additional river flooding is not forecast. Some local or flash flooding is possible. ...24-HR OBSERVED PRECIPITATION USED IN TODAY'S RIVER FORECASTS... Rain was generally oriented east-west across the basin through eastern Illinois, the southern halves of Indiana and Ohio as well as northern Kentucky and most of West Virginia. Basin averages were mostly 0.50 inch or less, but a narrow axis from the southeast Illinois, across southern Indiana and across northern Kentucky featured some basins with up to 2 inches of rainfall. ...48-HR FORECAST PRECIPITATION USED IN TODAY'S RIVER FORECASTS... Day 1 (8am EDT Friday - 8am EDT Saturday): Rain is forecast across all but the northeast Ohio Valley. Basin average amounts will increase to the southwest with totals ranging from 0.50 to 0.75 in middle Tennessee and middle Kentucky. Day 2 (8am EDT Saturday - 8am EDT Sunday): Rain is expected over all but the far north and west portions of the basin. Basin average amounts increase to the southeast with far western Virginia expecting near 0.50 inch. ...RIVER BASINS IN FLOOD... None.
